This page provides the required ''docuware'' for the '''EMF Validation 1.6.0 Release Review''', as part of the upcoming '''Juno Simultaneous Release'''.

== Overview ==
The EMF Validation project provides the following capabilities.

* Constraint Definition - Provides API for defining constraints for any EMF meta-model (batch and live constraints).
* Customizable model traversal algorithms - Extensibility API to support meta-models that require custom strategies for model traversal.
* Constraint parsing for languages - Provides support for parsing the content of constraint elements defined in specific languages. The validation framework provides support for two languages: Java and OCL.
* Configurable constraint bindings to application contexts - API support to define "client contexts" that describe the objects that need to be validated and to bind them to constraints that need to be enforced on these objects.
* Validation listeners - Support for listening to validation events.
